The Wings of War by Karen Ann Hopkins Book Blitz!!

There are descendants of angels
walking among us. Ember is one of them.

Embers
is an epic paranormal adventure/romance about a seventeen year old girl
who discovers that she’s immune to fire and any other injury when she’s
in a horrific car crash that kills her parents. Following a violent
episode with her aunt’s boyfriend, Ember flees Ohio to live with an old
relative in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Ember’s exuberance at
escaping a bad home life soon turns to trepidation when she learns that
she’s a Watcher, a descendant of angels.While
Ember is instructed about her heritage and the powers that go along
with it, she strikes up friendships with two teenagers who live in a
frightening walled compound in the forest. Inexplicitly drawn to one of
the young men in particular, an impossible romance develops. But it’s
cut short when Ember discovers that her new friends are fighting on the
opposite side of a war that’s been raging between two factions of
Watchers for thousands of years. When the compound’s inhabitants
threaten the townspeople, Ember takes action, sealing her fate in the
ancient battle of good versus evil, and the grayness in between. Ember
is up to the challenge, until she realizes that she isn’t only fighting
for the lives of the locals and the souls of her new friends. She may be
one of the few champions willing to make a stand for all of mankind as
the rapture approaches and the end of days begin.Embers is the first novel in the dark and gritty YA paranormal romance series, The Wings of War.

“You’re
right. I’m a monster. I won’t argue on that account. But your kind
isn’t squeaky clean either. Just because your ancestors were arch angels
doesn’t give you the right to police the world.” His eyes narrowed. “Do
you know how many humans have died from wars that Watchers
caused?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lied.

I
was already suspicious about Watchers. Ila scared the crap out of me
sometimes with her demeanor and righteous words.

But Sawyer didn’t need to know that I questioned the Watchers myself. His opinion didn’t count.

When
I turned back to him, ready to change the subject, I wasn’t prepared
for the darkening of his already almost black eyes. He leaned in closer
and our breaths mingled. In and out I breathed, allowing his familiar
woodsy scent to fill my nose. I know Sawyer. Oh, I know him.

Don’t do it, Ember.

But I couldn’t stop.

When he kissed me, my lips parted automatically.

Deep down, I wanted him, desired him madly, and had from the first time I’d seen him in my dreams.

In that instant, I didn’t care that he was a Demon.

Karen
Ann Hopkins resides in northern Kentucky with her family on a farm that
boasts a menagerie of horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, ducks,
rabbits, dogs and cats. Karen's main job is home schooling the kids, but
she finds time to give riding lessons, coach a youth equestrian drill
team, and of course, write. She was inspired to create her first book,
Temptation, by the Amish community she lived in. The experiential
knowledge she gained through her interactions with her neighbors drove
her to create the story of the star-crossed lovers, Rose and Noah.

Karen grew up about a mile from Lake Ontario
in Upstate New York. She was bitten by the horse bug at the age of five,
and after diligently taking riding lessons for several
years,
was rewarded with her first horse at the age of eleven. The feisty
horse's name was Lady, a Quarter Horse-Thoroughbred cross, who became
Karen's steadfast companion. Through the years, the constant force in
her life was horses. Eventually, she found her place as a riding
instructor herself. Before accepting her fate in the barnyard, she
worked a short stint as a paralegal, traveled abroad, and guided
tourists on horseback riding tours in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Karen is currently working on her Amish
mystery series, Serenity's Plain Secrets, along with the YA
paranormal/fantasy series, The Wings of War, and the continuation of the
Temptation series. Karen is also excited to announce the Temptation
series has been optioned for TV by Pilgrim Studios and is available on
Audible.
